I prefer the old rotating halogen beacon to be honest. Can be see easily from miles away and all the way around the tractor. each to his own choice of course because he who pays the bill takes the choice. Driving standards, yep, they have plummeted and will continue to do so.
I’ve been passed by synchronised civics while turning across the lane, they pulled out as one unit passed almost touching bumpers and the first didn’t pull in till the last was clear of me, odd as hell ignorance 🤣
I’d bet the ‘Nob’ was a delivery driver! Some of them definitely didn’t learn to drive in this country and need to stand a little closer when having their morning shave!
Plenty of idiots about, I saw red with one who overtook me as I turned right, I carried on turning he went into my back wheel wrecked his bumper no damage to the tractor 😊 he won't do it again 😂
I live in Perthshire and well used to seeing tractors bedecked with lightbars and beacons. It is now becoming more difficult to spot the indicator signals on the tractors so always have to take more care when passing. Van driver was still a nob.
Good video as usual, poor old JCB no wonder she stalled on you, all those in cab accessories and 3 miles of cables. 😁 The Cummins is purring as well as ever.
Good video George 👍 just a point 🙄 was surprised to see how far in front of the fastrac you were before you saw the bar thats a fair old chunk of roof and in daylight bar could possibly need to be up on brackets 🤔 sure no one will miss it when the darker days come back 🤔👍👍
Cracking vid George, there must be some weight behind the Fastrac with that tank full of sludge!! I bet that light bar looks really good at night! I remember you putting the light bar on the JCB at JWB good old days!😊
Fun fact: Here in Finland you're not allowed to run with flashers on (or you're not supposed to) when just driving on roads, only when you're actually working on a road you should use them. Idea is that having them on all the time makes people used to them so they don't care about them, while just seeing them now and then when it's ACTUALLY any danger makes people take notice of them more.
With you for gps guidance, helped my neighbour drill some barley a couple of years ago, a New Holland T8 410, with a 12 meter drill, a Root Boot an Aussie made drill, and grain / fertiliser cart. Without the gps would have been a challenge. My previous time drilling was about 30 years ago with a ford 6710 and a MF 30 drill. at Bicton ag college.
Good Evening George, Now when you turn right make sure you signal lol not funny just a prat behind you I have had that happen to me I was a bit hot headed them days so I went after him as I had my children with me, Great video as always bit smelly , Anyway George you take care of yourself and stay safe.🚜🚜⭐️👍👌 Also love your lights 👍

I had a car run into the bank of my right rear wheel as I turned right. His insurance company took mine to court to recover costs for the damaged car and they won and the driver wanted to win to get his no claims bonus restored as he had claimed on his to replace his car immediately.Here in Ireland a judge will often favour the injured party even if they are in the wrong if they are deemed to be not able to pay legal fees if they lose.
I drive into London alot, and you'll be amazed how many people come up my left hand side when i'm turning left, and not only dose it flash but there is a "WARNING, THIS VEHICLE IS TURNING LEFT" audible warning but like lemmings i get e-scooters cyclests, motorcyclests and sometimes even cars mounting the pavment and squeezing up my left hand side when i'm trying to turn left. Problem is with tight left turns i have to positon out to the right which dosn't help but i've still got my left signel on.
How come you brits often use quite small slurry tanks? For some reason alot of farms opt for this as far as I can see from yt. Is it to do with the soil being compacted easily? Or the size of the roads? Love the content, cheers from Sweden.
@@gregshearer423 It depends really but between 3500 and 4500 would be normal in my area where fields are quite small, and up to around 6000 where there are bigger fields. Some people obviously still run older 2-3000 gallon tankers aswell but it is not that common anymore.
@@guseks8413 a lot of farms are starting to buy bigger tankers like 3000-3500 but a lot of the smaller farms simply don’t have big enough tractors to pull anything bigger than a 2500 and don’t really need anything bigger
@@GeorgeSaunders Thanks for the answer, that makes sense. Come to think of it you probably have the majority of your fields relatively close to the farm yard compared to my area plus a faster tractor. 😉 3000 gallons is plenty then.
Hallo george Nice Film from driving slurry on greenland. Idiot car driver give it in Germany enough. Congratulation for English Football Team for finale
Oh come on George he was late for his baked beans!!! 🤣 Just impatience these days, like me this evening driving back from work, some wonderful driver in a ford focus, couldn't keep to his side of the road coming down the hill and around a blind bend. Hit my wing mirror - thankfully no damage to my car, but made a hell 'a' bang! Idiot!
Evening sir.. those Twits are everywhere we have had multiple accidents in the past because we follow the highway code and use indicators 😅.. normal answer back is... I thought you were letting me passed.. 🤔😡. Obviously overtaking the following cars wasn't the problem 🙄.. Question on your RTK... Do you use a base station anywhere? Stay safe 🏴
RTK some job. If you keep to those lines spreading you will have less compaction over time. It all helps. Think I can see that beacon from west Ireland
@GeorgeSaunders I bought one of them from rvl about 6mths ago, the control box isn't synced to the light pattern, you have to see what the light is doing then disconnect and set the box to the light pattern and reconnect. Just thought you might want to know if you didn't already as I had to contact them as to why it wasn't synced. Cheers
I know exactly what you mean George. What does the indicator really mean? You put it on to tell everyone you intend to turn right and slow down to do so but they think because you are driving a tractor with something big behind you are telling them to overtake. You have to have eyes everywhere looking out for wallys, which is what you were doing.

Good old brittax light bars back in the day used to always burn belts and wind up only lighting in one direction 🤣 did look a damn sight nicer though
In Ireland we have any amount off those type of drivers too
I’ve been passed by synchronised civics while turning across the lane, they pulled out as one unit passed almost touching bumpers and the first didn’t pull in till the last was clear of me, odd as hell ignorance 🤣
God knows how many times I mentioned this, and finally, George has done it . Any ideas what's happened to J.W.B
I’ve often wondered this too. Their channel hasn’t had a new video for so long now
Sadly missed
Dunno why he doesn't make videos
It’s like watching a retired fighter pilot , doing slurry spreading…..lol 🤣the tech is on another level , 👍😉🇮🇲
Nice bit of slurring George, the new light bar is a great addition. Bad drivers every where . Great video George 👍 🚜 🔧
I’d bet the ‘Nob’ was a delivery driver!
Some of them definitely didn’t learn to drive in this country and need to stand a little closer when having their morning shave!
Be easy on them, some crossed over in a dingy before taking that driving job
Plenty of idiots about, I saw red with one who overtook me as I turned right, I carried on turning he went into my back wheel wrecked his bumper no damage to the tractor 😊 he won't do it again 😂
It's not always the couple of cars just behind you it's the Idiot's from 3 or 4 cars back that get Impatient 🤔

Excellent video George! We can see your light bar up here in Yorkshire! Stay safe!
Nice video George nice light bar looks good onJCB. 👍🚜😊

Thats good for the grass George...Stay safe...great video
Great video George you get 🛎️🔚s all over the place and a nice light bar 👍👍

Tuo ei pidä paikkaansa enää. Jos paripyörät tai yli 2,6m leveä kone niin pitäis käyttää majakkaa.
Thanks George cracking vid sir.... Take care....
Great job George, have a good week👌👍🙏😎
Field work is just that, no matter the implement. Good job George, 🐄🍶🚜💯

I’ve started buying recovery spec led light bars , built in strobes and ditch lights and front and rear leds when required , great bits of kit
Good Evening George, Now when you turn right make sure you signal lol not funny just a prat behind you I have had that happen to me I was a bit hot headed them days so I went after him as I had my children with me, Great video as always bit smelly , Anyway George you take care of yourself and stay safe.🚜🚜⭐️👍👌 Also love your lights 👍
That tosser in the van would have come worse off if he it that JCB
Another great video has George and liz 👍
Do you rinse flush the tank any during the year with water?

Can my guts handle it🤔

George your clearly struggling with the farming why don’t you get a electrical shop specialising in flashing lights 😂
Another day in the life of George, a small light beacon gets replaced with a 5 fT light bar. GEORGE DON'T DO THINGS BY HALF. 😀👍
Do you still use the magnet amber lights you can stick on the trailer
good job 👍
Where did you get the beacons/strobes
Response vehicle lighting

There's no need for a farm our size to have anything bigger, you wouldn't be able to get it manoeuvred around the traditional buildings 👍

Nice light bar, but I feel it would be better visible with some longer legs on it.
being picky i know would have mounted on higher brackets jobs a good one
Risk of being damaged by tree branches then
@@GeorgeSaunders point taken
👍

Yep to thick its common practice every time you go out on the road, too thick to understand what a basic indicator is you know who you area:)
They followed you from old stream farm i reckon
😂😂😂

Think I would have raised it up higher
Check out beacons&lights bright leds
Nice looking lightbar, but for them idiot drivers out there they wont help.. can't fix stupid.. 😅
Too thin that light bar,better with proper flashing beacons on which would be way better from any angle or distance
Why is it too thin?
Hi George isn't it fun being a tractor driver on the road, you soon find the wanker car and van driver's who needs to take their driving test again
Nice video George nice light bar looks good onJCB. 👍🚜😊
